My first official troop with the Central Texas Squad of Star Garrison!

 

After parading the halls outside of the Expo and getting our pictures with the attendees who were waiting patiently in the halls (the Expo sold out), we hit the floor, starting at our booth table:

Love it! Congrats on your first official troop. :D

 

As for the photo with the girl in the red T-shirt and white shorts, there will be LOTS of those types of moments in your future. Something you'll simply have to get used to. ;)

Actually that one was fine :) It was the guy who asked me to pose like I was punching him in the crotch that kind of made me go "...wait, what?". In the not so strange category, there was one with us vs the Halo guys, weapons drawn on each other...but either our photographer didn't get a picture or he hasn't posted it yet.

That's an awesome first troop :) I love the narrative. And I guess everyone's got to have a little crotch or bum story on their first troop. ;-) part of the hazing process lol.

 

The reason your marksmanship skills were good is because no rebels were shooting back! Lol

Well, I couldn't find the Halo v TK picture, but I found a few more!

 

Our Squad put on an Armor panel Sunday afternoon, discussing different characters/armor and how they all go together. We had our Sovereign Protector watching the door for Rebels

and Clone Commander Fil started off the panel

we had a couple of different costumes to share with our guests

these are actually from the first day, but when we decided to take a lunch break, Jeff & I decided it was too much of a PITA to de-armor only to have to get back into it an hour later

valuable skill learned at first troop: how to sit down!

Even though we are in Austin, a couple of the patrons were...'surprised' to see us :)

 

Getting back to the expo, we explored some of the various technology used to get around the convention center, although the primitive buttons were confusing at first

and some of us didn't understand it at all

he did finally find his way back down to the correct level...eventually

but was already being teased mercilessly

And in a more touching moment, or Garrison CO presided over a very special TK union

good times...good times... :)

Jeff managed to dig up the TK vs Halo pics on-line - we totally could've taken them out...if Lord Vader had been with us it would've been Force Choke city!

But, while some of us were his escort

others thought they had 'better things to do'...

Congrats to the newlyweds! I love Ms TK's accessories! :) Your group is having way too much fun, and it's awesome! Loved all these pix, too. Good job Troopers! :th_AnimatedBravoSmiley:
